Documentation for the hdfstream python client

This python module is used to access a service which streams the contents of HDF5 groups, datasets and attributes over http. It provides an interface which is based on the h5py high level API, with some additions to allow browsing the files and directories available on the server.

The module is hosted on pypi and can be installed with pip:

pip install hdfstream
